My home is pet free, because I sell on e-bay.

4 dogs and 2 cats live with me. The 2 cats are only interested in the finished quilt - to snuggle under. 1 dog barks at the machine when I am sewing - I guess he gets as excited as I do about quilting --- 1 dog lays on my feet and the foot pedal to make me sew faster (and he keeps my feet warm) - 1 dog is a puppy, so he snatches anything he can get so that I chase him around the room to get my cardio workout for the day! The oldest dog keeps the other 3 in line when I am too busy to watch them myself. I always make quilts for the pets from the odd blocks, UFOs and ugly fabric that I have and they love them! They are very "quilt gift" worthy. Purrs and kisses everyday for the quilts I give them.

LOL, mine arent really allowed in my sewing room, only because the bulldog has a serious chewing problem, and I am afraid for her life with all the cords around...and the cats wouldnt leave me alone, lol! I have a baby gate on the door now, and they sleep in the hall and watch me!

No, they aren't required but they are great to complain to. And they are always highly impressed with anything I make. Although my guys remind me often that I am spending too much time sewing and too little time with them.

Indeed...because they are also festive, hardworking and make great navigators!

We're thrilled to be dressed up!

Cats and dogs are a MUST - they spread love all over you like a warm quilt.

Probably not, but my cat usually does the warmness test, before I finish. If she lays on it, I know it's a go! She's my silent companion when I quilt!

Yes. Contact your local rescue groups and ask to become a foster home. You will be granted 'Angel' status and receive all the love you could ask for. When the right one comes along, fosters get 'first dibs' on adopting.
